Earlier than now, and it will die. How big is it? My advice is
not to bother - they aren't expensive, and don't transplant well
except when very small. So plant a new one, and scrap the old
one.

You should move it when it's dormant, in winter. Now is not a good
time. If you do decide to move it, make sure a nice big hole is ready
for it and take as much soil around the rootball as you can. However,
unless this is a special present from someone they are, as Nick says,
not that expensive and you might be better off starting again with a
new tree.
